I was looking through my Barnes catalog and found a listing for the 50/110 round. They have a .510" bullet in the 300gr & 450gr. Would these work in an A-Square (JAB, Peacekeeper, ect.) and/or a BMG? Would they shread the jacket from the lead or something of that nature? Just curious ;-)

Perhaps the twist twist won't be right for such a short bullet and accuracy will suffer. But I would not expect the bullet to shred in the barrel or in the air. Expect superior varmint bullet performance using those slugs on game.

BMG,
Low velocity squib loads might be nice to try, but I have no experience with the pistol powders and filler in the 50 cal Might handle squirrels to elephants with the same gun if this could be worked out. That would be cool.

Dr. Berry,

You are one of the few people to say a 300gr bullet is a 'squirrel' load and have me believe it. When KJ gets my .510 built, I'm going to experement with everything from 300gr Barnes-O's to 813gr Spotter/Tracer de-milled, new toys are fun. Have a good one...
